Resume Review Round Table
1/16: 3:00 – 6:00pm; Atrium
In this workshop, HR reps and recruiters (or other people within companies who screen résumés or serve as the first or second-line reviewers) sit with small groups of CSE students for 15-20 minutes per group and critique resumes, offer suggestions and help them refine the way they present themselves on paper. It is a chance for students to get honest feedback about what’s working and what’s not, and to see examples from other students to help them craft a résumé that really works.
